With tales from the tribal peoples of Greenland, Canada, Siberia, Alaska, Japan, and the polar region, told and retold during months-long winter nights, Northern Tales gathers together a rich diversity of traditions and cultures, spanning the Way-Back Time through the coming of the first white explorers. By turns tragic and comic, fantastic and earthy, frivolous and profound, this collection transports the reader to the haunting, little-known world of the far North, with all its fragile majesty and power.

It’s 1918. The war in Europe grinds on, and the Spanish flu seems to be on an insatiable killing spree. But in the small fishing village of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, a more confined drama—harrowing and provocative—slowly unfolds. It begins when Elizabeth Frame murders her husband hours after their wedding and thrusts the revolver into the blowhole of a beached whale.Crime reporter Toby Havenshaw is dispatched by the Halifax Evening Mail to cover the hearing, and his diary subsequently follows the surprising twists and turns of Elizabeth Frame’s flight from the law, accompanied as she is by a love-besotted court stenographer. But Toby’s diary also paints a vivid and deeply affecting portrait of his marriage to Amelia, a surgeon just returned from the front lines in France and Belgium. When a child is born to Elizabeth Frame on the lam, Amelia is drawn into events in ways she could never have imagined. And then everything changes.Come to the Window explores a question both universal and timeless: How does one recover hope in a time of great bewilderment and grief?

The warmth of this book is sustained by friendship. More specifically, the novelist Howard Norman documents what he didn't know would be the final evening and morning he spent with his dear friend Jake Berthot. In that single evening is the entire world of their relationship and the story of a unique artistic figure of the twentieth century.After the controversial exhibit of his ""Red Paintings,"" painter Jake Berthot (1939-2014) moved his studio from New York City to a small town upstate. There he began an exploration of landscape - predominantly trees - which he drew and painted almost exclusively until his death from leukemia at age 75. Berthot was often referred to as a ""painter's painter,"" a description he disliked.After tragedy struck his friend Norman's family, Berthot gave them a collection of dialogues and poems by the 13th century Sufi mystic poet Rumi. One of the poems reads: I said: What about my heart?He said: Tell me what you hold inside itI said: Pain and sorrow.He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place the light enters you.Norman and Berthot often discussed and debated these ""spiritual works,"" as well as any number of other subjects. At Berthot's own prompting, Norman recorded some of their conversations and also kept detailed journals of his many visits.A ""pastiche of inimitable farewells"" (W. S. Merwin), this story has all the intimate forms of memory: letters, conversation, and anecdote, woven together in a narratively inventive, courageous, and deeply affecting portrait of friendship.
